Need help car suddenly lost power
Driving down the freeway. Car suddenly loses power. Got it towed home. Battery totally dead and replaced. Car turns over but will not start. Seems to of lost compression. But not totally sure of that. Once home i inspected the engine compartment and the radiator Cap had exploded lost all fluid. Replace both a long with the battery. Getting no codes due to battery replacement. What should I do now?

Check the engine oil for coolant. i.e. drain it into a pan and pour that into clear containers.
What does it sound like when it's cranking? What made you write about possible compression loss?
